Former Pakistan PM Imran Khan says three bullets were taken from his right leg
Pakistan’s former Prime Minister Imran Khan says three bullets were taken from his right leg from the shooting which injured him last week.
Khan survived the shooting at a political rally in Gujranwala on Thursday, an incident that his party has called an assassination attempt.
Monday, Khan said, “They took out three bullets from my right leg. The left had some shrapnel which they’ve left inside.”
Khan said his bone had been damaged and his leg was cast, adding that it would take four to six weeks for him to resume regular activity.
Speaking from his residence in Zaman Park, Lahore, Khan said that he had information from intelligence agencies that the shooting which injured him last week would take place.
When asked by Anderson on Monday what information he had been given on the incident, and by whom, Khan said: “Remember, three and a half years I was in power. I have connections with intelligence agencies, the different agencies that operate. How did I get the information? From within the intelligence agencies. Why? Because most people are appalled by what is going on in this country.”
Last week, the Pakistani intelligence agency said it had communicated “about the threat” to Khan prior to the rally. “The organization had already sensitized the federal government about the threat to the former prime minister, who had communicated this to the Punjab provincial government,” Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) said in a statement.
